Fails after about hour of working

[unclechu]

It freezes and after about 10-20 seconds it fails.

Here is the log:

Hello! Wait timeout error occur when neovim process does not respond in 5 seconds. This can be:

• some bug in neovim
• just long response time because of something, maybe neovim was too busy
• this can be some unsupported neovim behavior (for example neovim process wait for something that neovim-gtk don't know) One solution is maybe increase 5 seconds to some bigger value.

@daa84 where this timeout is set so I could change it?

I just encountered the same crash but the cause may be different. I'm not actually sure what triggered it as I wasn't using Neovim at the time.

I got two "NeovimGtk isn't responing" dialogues from GNOME before it crashed. They give the choice of Force Quit or Wait, I chose Wait in each case.

I found same issue in neovim-qt: https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt/issues/319 So I think it is need to introduce new --timeout command line argument like neovim-qt do and increase default timeout, maybe this helps. @unclechu currently it is not possible to change timeout value

[daa84]

Fixed memory leak #28 - this can produce slowdown and timeout error at the end. Fixed problem with timeout error when neovim wait for user input and focus event executed. Also increase default timeout to 10 sec and add option to set timeout from command line (https://github.com/daa84/neovim-gtk/wiki/Configuration#command-line). Hope this helps 😄
